Default Prepping the RV Turkey....

So Louise and I were doing the Thanksgiving dinner today, and it came time to tie up the legs before putting it in the oven:


Well? How else would you do it? It does meet AC43.13....

And, of course, it requires an extra tool when preparing to carve....


Hey, whatever works....

That is way funny.

On a sadder note, I wish all my safety wires looked as neat as that one.

Default .032" or .040"?

Paul,
Was that .032" or .040" lock wire? Since it is on the landing gear, it probably should be .040".
Happy Belated Thanksgiving to you and Louise. I'm anxious to see that new -6 panel.

Of course, it was .040" Mel - gotta do it by the book!

The new panel is coming along great - a couple more wires and it should be finished - what do you think?



Well, maybe a few more days....

Paul

Default DUH!

I really like the layout. Ann is impressed with the wiring.
The way you have everything center stacked between the side rails shows a good ergonomic plan.
BTW, The look on your face shows a real confidence factor.
